A illustrated paper for 19th century dress class

AS
ILLUSTRATED PAPER FOR 19TH CENTURY DRESS CLASS

In the 19th century,
people wore clothes depending on the occasion under consideration. Different
circumstances dictated the manner in which people were supposed to shape their
mode of wearing their attires. For instance, there were those attires that were
supposed to be worn by the people who were going out to a war. Further, there
was those type of clothes that were worn by those people who were going out for
a ceremonial purpose (Krohn 2011). Kings
and queens along with other leaders were supposed to wear a particular form of
clothes that were to symbolize their position in the society. Moreover, women
and men had distinct types of fabrics as well as the young boys and girls. In
view of this, this paper seeks to discuss the nature of dressing that were worn
in the 19th century. The class of people who wore them along with
their age among many other factors will also be other factors that will be
discussed.

Firstly, kings and queens as well
as other leaders wore clothes that could symbolize their position in the
community. Fundamentally, the nature of textiles that were worn by the people
of this caliber were not shared among the other people as they simplified the
position of leadership. For that reason, if one was not a leader, he or she was
not supposed to wear the nature of clothes that were designated to be worn by
the officially established leaders (Phyllis and
Keith 2010). As such, the other people were supposed to wear the nature
of attires that were different from those of their leaders for the purpose of
illustrating respect to their prevailing leaders. One would be perceived to
have gone contrary to the provisions of the community if he or she wore the
nature of attires that were set aside for their administrators. Consequently,
everyone was made aware of the leadership attires for the kings and the queens
so that every other person could avoid being caught wearing the same nature of
attire. People were allowed to be creative on the nature of the dress that they
manufacture though they were not supposed to craft the ones that were similar
to those of the administrators. It was unlike the current world where there are
no clothes for certain people in the society. Presently, people have the
freedom to wear the nature of the costumes that presidents can wear since the
world has gone through a form of evolution. In this regard, it is useful to the
current world unlike the past era since people have the freedom of choice that
is guaranteed constitutionally all over the world.

Secondly, people's design of
wearing clothes could be dictated by the occasion under consideration. For
instance, in events like marriage, people would wear clothes that had direct
bearing on marriage. Costumes that could reflect the nature of the occasion
under consideration is that issue of concern that many people were focused to
attain (Cunnington 2013). In effect, this
could be defined by the people who were concerned with organizing the event of
discussion. In this case, the event is marriage whereby a committee that
comprised of people who were well conversant with the occasion could be called
to define the nature of the clothes that could be worn by the people who were
involved in the marriage. In this perspective, it encompasses the people who
were the constituents of the marriage along with their followers who
participated in the event to witness the exchange of the vows between two
people who were involved in the marriage. It is the nature of the clothes that
were worn that could dictate the nature of the event that was taking place.
People at a distance could foretell that a marriage was taking place by
assessment of the outfits that were worn by the participants. They were of a
definite type that one could get their actual identity even before enquiring
about the nature of the event that was taking place. It was this way since many
ordinary people were mostly called to design the nature of these clothes
whenever an occasion of this nature was about to take place.

As the world came to evolve, people
started having different types of clothing that could yet be dictated by the
occasion that they were made to serve (Bernstein
2014). Accordingly, they were more improved compared to the initial
models since newer methods of crafting attires were discovered. It is through
exploration that new methods of cloth making were found which implied that
outfits were made more perfect to suit the occasion of interest. Furthermore,
machines that could aid the process of making the costumes were integrated into
the process making the process more efficient than in the initial era.
Materials that had never been used in the making of these clothes were
incorporated in the experimental set-ups, and some proved to be suitable
materials in the manufacture of clothes. As a result, it made the process of
making clothes smooth and efficient. The current world enjoys a variety of
materials that have their origin in the 19th century.
